REPORT  OF  THE  EXECUTIVE 
COMMITTEE. 


1905. 


Library,  170  Second  Avenue, 

New  York,  February  5,  1906. 

In  transmitting  a  copy  of  the  Annual  Report  of  the 
Executive  Committee  for  the  year  1905,  the  attention  of 
the  Society  is  particularly  called  to  the  fact  that  it  is 
essential  to  maintain  in  full  and  efficient  strength  the  roll 
of  Members.  The  decease  of  many  of  our  oldest  and  best 
citizens,  heretofore  identified  with  the  history,  progress, 
and  prosperity  of  the  Society,  has  constantly  diminished 
the  membership,  and  it  is  hoped  that  each  member  will 
endeavor  to  propose  at  least  one  new  candidate  for  ad¬ 
mission. 

By  order  of  the  Committee, 

Acosta  Nichols, 

Recording  Secretary.

The  contract  for  the  erection  of  the  first  story  of  the 
central  portion  of  the  new  building,  by  funds  provided 
for  by  Mr.  Henry  Dexter,  was  signed  at  the  November, 
1904,  meeting;  the  walls  of  the  building  were  completed 
to  the  first  cornice  course  in  June  last.

gift  a  sum  of  money  sufficient  to  insure  the  completion  of 
the  exterior  of  the  central  building,  and  in  July  last  a 
contract  was  entered  into  by  the  Society  for  the  enclosing 
of  the  central  structure,  including  the  permanent  roof.

ing  the  Civil  War,  presented  in  1866,  and  devoted  to  the

in  1858,  for  the  Publication  of  its  Proceedings  and  Col¬ 
lections.  Of  the  shares  of  the  capital  stock  of  this  Fund, 
limited  in  number  to  1,000,  829  have  been  sold  up  to  the 
present  time,  as  follows:  750  shares  were  sold  prior  to 
June  6,  1866,  at  $25  per  share;  subsequently  the  price 
of  shares  was  advanced  to  $50,  when  thirty  shares  were 
sold  at  the  latter  figure;  the  price  of  shares  was  again 
advanced,  J anuary  1,  1883,  to  $100  per  share ;  since  then 
forty-nine  shares  have  been  sold,  realizing  $25,150,  the 
interest  of  which  is  used  for  the  publication  of  each  suc¬ 
cessive  volume.

the  interest  accruing  from  the  Publication  Fund  continues 
inadequate  to  insure  the  publication  of  the  back  volumes 
due  to  shareholders,  and  the  members  of  the  Society  are 
earnestly  requested  to  purchase  the  171  shares  in  the  Fund 
remaining  unsold.  These  shares  are  transferable,  and 
each  share,  at  $100,  carries  with  it  the  thirty  volumes 
already  published,  besides  entitling  the  holder  to  one  copy 
of  every  succeeding  publication.
